Are you thirsty?

Boy it's sure hot out! And I'm pretty sure half of me has melted away today. I'm sure you can relate. You know, I'm not a fan of really hot and humid weather like this, but I find it to be a blessing and a good reminder that it's not going to be a scorcher in heaven some day. We may think this is hot...well, hell is much hotter. Can you imagine how thirsty we would be down there?? Our mouths would be bone dry from the heat and with no water to drink. And we're talkin' 24/7 dying of heat and thirst. Good news is that we never have to go thirsty! Even on a day like today. You might be asking yourself, "How is that? It's 96 degrees out with a heat index of 114 degrees and I could seriously fry an egg on my sidewalk! Maybe even bacon!" 

You see, God loves us SO much that He sent his son Jesus to die for us. He died for our sins. He took our place on the cross and rose again and is alive so that we are saved from the hot scorching oven, roasting away like a kernel of popcorn ready to pop at any second. When we accept Jesus into our life as our Savior, we are forgiven of these sins and have hope, a future and eternal life. We never have to go thirsty again. This is what Jesus says, "but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (John 4:14) We have eternal life in Him which is the best drink of purified water anyone could ever have! Drink up :)

Beauty of the Cross

Today is Good Friday! Remember the meaning and importance of it. Jesus Christ was beaten and died on the cross for us! He died for our sins so that we may live in paradise with Him! That is the best gift anyone could ever give! We are forgiven! We are free because of that! Words cannot express how thankful I am! He has changed my heart and my ways! I am a new creation! Jesus is my Lord and Savior! ♥


‎"He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 - We are healed!!! Hallelujah!!

"Beauty of the Cross" - Jonny Diaz 

At the cross I find the beauty of Your matchless grace

At the cross I see a King who died to take my place

It's the moment that You made me clean and pardoned my soul

Amazing grace that I would be allowed unto Your throne

Not by my own will but solely by Your will alone

I'm unworthy of this love you have shown to me

I see my desperate need

The beauty of the cross is that there's One who has redeemed my soul

Beauty of the cross is that I'm finally free and letting go

Beauty of the cross is that Your grace has found me just as I am

Not by my own works that I may boast or I may come

But simply through your Son the sinless and Exalted One

Only through the cross that I'm made clean to draw near to you

Saved so that you would receive all glory due Your name

Everlasting God from age to age you never change

A true love story remains for all eternity

That all the world would see

My sinful soul could only be

Redeemed by the blood of a sinless King

So you came to the world that You had made

Conquered sin on the cross and You rose from the grave

That's the beauty of the cross 

God and Dog

Check out this poem and video I ran across. It is sooo true!

God Spelled Backwards

When God had made the earth and sky,

The flowers and the trees.

He then made all the animals,

The fish, the birds and bees.

And when at last He'd finished,

Not one was quite the same.

He said, "I'll walk this world of mine,

And give each one a name."

And so He traveled far and wide

And everywhere He went.

A little creature followed Him

Until its strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth

And in the sky and sea,

The little creature said, "Dear Lord,

There's not one left for me."

Kindly the Father said to him,

"I've left you to the end.

I've turned my own name back to front

And called you dog, my friend."

I'm so thankful for having God and my dog Sophie in my life! They both brighten any day, pull me through the bad times, rejoice with me in the good times, have a great sense of humor, and love me unconditionally no matter what! Sophie really is a sweetie and a trooper. She can always sense if something is wrong or if I'm sad, and she has been so comforting and loving lately with everything going on in my life.
